A:Answer I can't find a manual online but it does include a small pamphlet in the box. The kettle WILL auto-shut off when done boiling, whether you picked it up or not. It has a "keep warm" feature that you can manually enable, & even that will shut off automatically after a set time. At temps 158, 167, or 185, the kettle maintains it's temp for 30 minutes. At 194 or 203 the kettle will maintain its temp for 10 minutes. When set at 212, the kettle will NOT use the "keep warm" function.
